    Cecal worm found in fecal

    Hello, I raise chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, guineas, etc... all together on my farm. I've been doing a lot of research and have started using garlic / cayenne pepper in their feed plus ACV in water. However, before doing so, a fecal sample from my chickens tested positive for cecal worms...

    Sick turkey

    One of my (i think) heritage turkeys seems sick. I got her from a feed store because I felt bad for her. I'm raising her as a pet, not for slaughter, so I'm keeping her on a low protein chicken layer feed. She is coughing and seems to grumble, sounds like respiratory problem. Also, she walks...

    Sick turkey / paralyzed

    Hello I rescued what looked to be an injured turkey from a feed store. I immediately took her to the vet that day and the vet said it was highly unlikely she'd survive. Has internal damage, heart murmur, bruising, etc., I took her to another vet for a second opinion and he said the same thing...

    Is my pygmy pregnant?

    I got my pygmy goat about 3 months ago. She was probably exposed to bucks before I picked her up from her previous home. She now lives with 2 wethers, so they are definitely not the baby daddy! We are about 70% sure she's pregnant, because she's been swelling in her stomach, and now her udders...

    Bumblefoot?

    Hello, so, my Cuckoo Maran was diagnosed with septic joint when she was a pullet. She's always walked with a gimp because her right leg is a little crooked. Anyway, despite the fact that she cannot walk very fast, she's able to roost and has become a healthy, laying hen. Unfortunately, I've...

    Yellow Goat hair

    Hi. I do have chickens but this is a goat question for anyone that might be able to help! (I'm waiting to get accepted to a goat forum). So, I have 3 goats, and our most recent one is a rescue, about 5-6 months old. He is a Boer mix. His fur was white when we got him, but now it is yellowing on...

    Silver Laced Wyandotte hen or rooster???

    I'm starting to have suspicions (due to those this tail feathers) that my Adélaïde might be a boy. Uh ohhhh!!! Still too young to crow or lay, (depending on what she is).

    Septic Joint

    I recently purchased a Cuckoo Maran pullet from a junky feed store. Upon arriving home we noticed she had one lame leg. I figured it was due to an injury. I took her to the vet today, and she is being treated for septic joint. The vet gave me an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory. Currently, my...

    What breed?

    I have 2 pullets, one must be a Golden Laced Cochin. The other one is Bantam Partridge Cochin? I rescued them only days ago. They were obviously the runts since their backsides are almost completely bare. I love their personalities. They're my favorite so far. Very friendly, already running up...

    What breed?

    I rescued 2 pullets from this feed store that should be shut down. The chickens didn't even have room to stand up straight. Upon arriving home we discovered that one actually has a broken/dislocated leg, so I'm taking her to the vet tomorrow. In the meantime, I'd like to find out the breed(s)...

    What duck breed/mix is this?

    I recently rescued a young duck (hopefully a hen), and I'm curious to know her mix. Crested? She's so sweet!

    What should I be feeding these pullets? (pic included)

    I purchased these golden sexlink pullets from a feed store. They didn't have any info on them. They're obviously not laying yet, but I have no idea what age they are and how long they have until they become layers. They're growing really fast already. I'm still new to this though. I know chicken...

    Anyone know the breed of this cute chicken?

    I rescued this poor little "guy", (not sure of the gender yet), from a creepy local feed store. He is super sweet and thinks I'm his momma! hehe. I took him because all of his back feathers were ripped out and he was bleeding pretty bad. He looked so miserable and kept pacing back and forth in...
